  1. just by looking at the pictures .. it seems that for 2011 you loose the chill zone and the auto-stick feature. the Article at allpar.com : http://www.allpar.com/SUVs/dodge/journey.html
  2. they slapped in the 2011 jeep Cheerokie / Durango interior .... nice ... it make 2008-2009 interior even more ugly ....
  3. can you clarify the question .. not sure with the H*** well simply plug the connector into the ipod and then press the AUX button on the radio and voila youre good to go. Use the knob on the radio or ( if you have it ) the controls on the steering wheel to change songs. Note that the Iphone and Ipod touch will work and play songs but will not recharge with the connector , however all other Ipod Classic will.
  4. hehe .. in fact the dodge Journey is assembled at Toluca Car Assembly - Mexico same place as several Chrysler others products like the Sebring convertible....These Drunks and smokers was assigned to build the new Jeep Cheeroke 2011.
  5. It's very sad to watch this .... .... :( :( http://www.myfoxdetroit.com/dpp/news/chrysler-auto-workers-busted_20100923_dk
  6. yes , go behind the seat and look under , you will see the locking tab It's easy to unlock with one finger . Open it and replace the strap to where it should be ,,, someone must have pulled on it because it can't really fall by itself.
  7. i using black 16 '' steel winter wheels without TPMS with 225/70 /16 Yokohama Geolandar tires on my SXT
  8. TPMS sensors should be around 50-60$ Cnd each ......no more. for winter wheels you can ask wheels for dodge caravan , same bolt pattern as the Journey ... some vendors will ask more $$ for journey winter wheels just because the model is newer. i tried one of my winter wheel on a 2010 Caravan and it's a direct fit ... but the Caravan need smaller tires. You can try to find some cheap Caravan alloy wheels at the junk yard and use them for the winter.

    Imperfections

    no idea about #1 .... but for question #2 i noticed that not all spare tire on the Journey is covered .... i do have a cover. At first i thought that only Journeys equipped with the the four banger ( aka Journey SE ) did not have the cover ..... until i saw some SXT without it too .... i think the cover was removed along with the rear amber turn signals for 2010 and up to lower cost ......
  10. if you use your Journey without TPMS installed , you will get a one time sound chime at start up and the yellow TPMS light in the gauge cluster will blink a few times and stay on all the time while you drive ...no continuous warning sound if you are worring about that. however , i don't know what happen when you have the EVIC system ... probably the same thing as the caliber.

    sorry for the delay ... this what i use for winter Yokohama Geolandar G072 http://www.yokohamatire.com/tires/geolandar_GO72.aspx
  12. Plug your Iphone / Ipod Touch / Ipod classic with the connector in the glove box and then press the AUX button on the radio , the music will start to play. You can use the controls on the steering wheel to up/down volume and change songs. Press the setup button on the radio to go in the option menu and use the right knob button on the radio to change directories of musics and press on the knob to select your choice. Iphone / Ipod Touch will work and play music but the battery will not be recharged via the Cable , however Ipod Classic will recharge via the cable. ( the cable is not a USB ... it's a Apple proprietary connector ) If you have a normal MP3 player you will need a simple cable to the headphone jack of your player to the AUX of the radio. Press the AUX button to activate and i think you will need to change the songs directly on your MP3 because it won't work with the controls on the steering wheel.

    tires

    My Journey is FWD , i will tell you tomorrow witch exact model of Geolanders i have , they are in storage right now but accessible .... i can tell you so far that they are very good in the snow/slush and i noticed that they are very silent for a winter tire.

    tires

    for summer i use 225/65/17 and for winter i use size 225/70/16 ( yokohama geolander )
  16. it was a rumor but now we all can see the new logo it will be interesting for performance parts now .. because the new jeep Cherokee , Journey and now the new Durango are very similar .....with the journey getting the new Pentastar V6 in 2011 it will be easier to swap parts. i think Cherokee / Durango price tag will be higher than the Journey ...
  17. happened ( noticed ) to me only one time in one year of ownership. It was at night on a long trip and it was very hot outside. I figured out that it was probably the incandescent light bulb inside the console ...but i could be wrong. If it's really the bulb producing the heat it could be easily replaced with a LED type bulb .. problem solved

  19. well , i do not have a very helpful reply but your Dealer know the P/N and sell it too ! Do you have the third row seats ? because this AC controls is for the second blower in the back of the car ..... unless you already have the simpler rear AC controls and you want to swap it with the DVD unit ?
  20. Corner of the hood ?? must be the end of the fender near the headlight because the hood itself can't rust : it's made of aluminum. Corrosion ? paint too thin on that spot ? well check with your dealer and in your car manual that kind of thing must be under warranty.
  21. well perhaps it's coming from the AC compressor assembly (bad AC clutch) does the noise is coming from the top or bottom of the engine compartment ?
  22. with 18'' correct tire size is 225-60-18 ... with size 2XX-50-18 your speedometer will be off and it will not indicate your real speed. Also 225-60-18 size appears to have more choice of tire than 19''
  23. Thank you for your review for the paint chip , check your warranty booklet , perhaps you can get it fixed for free if it's too apparent... not supposed to fall off that easily. But it was a jet wash ..sometime it can be very strong..
